Michael Moore made this point in Bowling for Columbine and its a good one.
The courts are controlled by money, as most things are and that is the problem with our legal system.
Corporate criminals who steal billions and put millions out of work has lunch with the cops is respected, gets the best lawyer out there, an easy sentence and goes to a safe prison.
A young man dealing drugs to pay for food for his family is frisked by the cops, gets probably a rookie lawyer and treated like dirt then goes to jail in a hard prison for about the same amount of time.
Which of these men hurt more people and which man hurt them more?
